Seeing as he keeps referring to the Prime Minister of Canada as "governor", deliberately and repeatedly mispronounced Kamala Harris' name and makes up disparaging, childish nicknames for people (Sleepy Joe etc), mocks people with disabilities, ridicules wounded veterans etc etc etc, I'd say he has completely lost the right to be treated with any respect whatsoever.
He was also found not guilty of raping his wife, because that wasnt a crime at the time. Many countries, including the UK changed the law because of him. Disgusting.
And couldn't be bothered to pay literally anyone the small expense to have the grave kept well. Bet he doesn't even remember who she was or thinks she's still alive. People out there have some serious TDS to believe he is any way qualifies for any job in this world let alone keeping a country safe and prosperous.
He was sure that Greenland would choose to be American rather than part of the Kingdom of Denmark (I don't say Danish, because they are clearly not Danish).
Greenland made its opinion clear.
And then JD Vance went, intended to find Greenlanders to back him up, and was chased like Nigel Farage in Scotland.
The only place he visited in Greenland was a US military base.
I found that very interesting when I worked in the US for a while - mixed democrats/republicans, mixed education, mixed aged adults - all of them believed fully that their country was the best in the world. Genuinely believed that we all wanted to live there. Blew their minds when I resigned rather than relocate.
"Introducing the former reality TV personality and friend of Jeffrey Epstein, donald trump."
I remember on Fox they went for a long time refusing to call Biden President, instead saying "Former Vice President", also the Biden "Regime" instead of Administration..
As an American, I must insist on some diplomatic protocol when addressing my President. I demand that you precede it with the traditional honorific “stupid fucking…”
Oh it definitely is. And look at what they are doing now to entrench the lack of education even further - dismantling the department of education is no accident.
It's very easy to manipulate an uneducated population.
Now, there are MANY MANY very educated people in the USA. But it doesn't seem to be the general aspiration to be educated. It's something that you do just enough to get a job or to get your parents off your back.
But even those who do finish school seem to lack basic awareness of the world or even of basic maths and English.
Use of the metric system really gets to me in particular. It is the simplest, most logical system that we have but more importantly, ONLY the USA and Liberia (a former US colony) use Imperial in earnest.
In the UK, it exists, but anyone doing a job of any type uses metric. Doctors weigh patients in kg and engineers measure in mm. Celsius is used EVERYWHERE, even in the UK.
My response to Trump getting elected the first time was to get a masters degree. This second time inspired me to return to academia. He can kiss my overeducated ass.
As an American, I am so disgusted by the spinelessnes in this country. Americans are always going "raw raw freedome fight for our right" but no one past the boomer generation actually understands what it means to sacrifice for rights.
The reason why the black community has always been at the forefront of social movements is because they don't get all the cozy privileges white Americans get (or the fake privileges that most immigrants think they earned).
Now here we are, democracy is disintegrating, and everyone just wants to sit on thier ass cuz they don't want to get pelted with rubber bullets. Americans have gotten to complacent and lazy and I no longer hold any sympathy for them.
The boomer generation didn’t sacrifice their lives for American rights. They sacrificed their lives for neocolonialism. The tangible value of the wars they fought is thwarting Russian influence, rather unsuccessfully An accomplishment ( however minor and temporary that may be) they’re eagerly reversing, while regurgitating Russian propaganda.
We lost Vietnam, there’s more than one Korea and one of em is not so democratic, every South American proxy war left horrific power vacuums, commie Cuba has more doctors and teachers per capita than any country in the world, and Russian assets and interests are at the forefront of US governance and policy.
Don’t forget to thank a boomer today for fighting for the corporations rights.
It most definitely is. Conservatives have been working very hard over the past several decades to cripple education and with the help of widespread propaganda cultivate a rabid base of servile and emotionally unstable simpletons.
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
I'm American and I am absolutely f'ing mind blown. I'm a psychologist and teach about cults and brainwashing and never in my life did I think that would happen to MOST of the people I know in my home state. We only speak to a few family members and friends now. The stupidity is UNREAL. Mostly because people will not stop watching Fox Entertainment so they've been fed lies for 10 years and now refuse to admit they're being lied to or that they're wrong. They'd rather be buried at Trumps feet in a MAGA than admit they were deceived. It's f'ing DISGUSTING. Half of us are still sane people who contribute to society and follow laws and want to make the world a better place. We have almost no power now. We're protesting in the streets but the craziness from the other half and the government keeps heating up. They're going to hurt us. We don't know what to do and we're trying to get out of here but gaining citizenship somewhere else is so so so hard and so expensive. Have been working on it for years now and the doors keep closing because no one wants us
Please just remember to be kind to not only the people that fought against him in this election (and in years past) but also for the people who do not have access to better education because of the system in place that targets low-income areas and does not provide for a fair and equal education.
But - feel free to hate on the people who CHOOSE ignorance, they are just idiots to decide to stay uneducated.
Now, imagine the disappointment and struggle of educated progressive people in some of those states in the south and Appalachia. It is extremely hard to give these trump knuckledraggers any respect. There are raccoons smarter than these apex mammals.
So this sub keeps appearing, I'm born, raised, served in the military in the USA, and im a federal employee of the government. I know almost nothing of Scotland outside of what I saw on TV. and movies. So I can say is this, i have a true dislike. Some would say hatred for Captain bonespur, his couch humping vice, and the n*zi billionaire.
I've only gotten one chance to come to the UK, and it was London, but Scotland is a bucket list to see. There are a lot of stereotypes i will own as American, but being a Dump lover i will never own. I don't want a king or an ass leading my country. Best of luck to you all across the pond
Hey, we know that you are not all like that, but it seems that enough of you are. It's up to you to change that because the rest of the world is really angry.
You think that I'm having a wee joke here, but I assure you that I am not. I am deadly serious.
Can give ye further proof of that, on r/exjw there was a post where I commented can't believe folks were digging their heads into the sand & how this foreigner was more informed.
This Slured brain! wrote this on the day they announced defunding/ dismantling the department of education, for fuck bloody sake!
As an American, I gotta say that not only is it the lack of funding for education, it’s also the rampant manosphere culture online that goes directly to kids in like middle school and early high school, that shit just ruins their views on women and politics in the worst way imaginable. They think Trump is some sort of Strong Man candidate and whatever he says is cool bc it pisses of libs and leftists
Don’t sell my man Palpatine short, he at the very least was effective in taking over a galaxy for 25 years. Trump’s not even 6 months in and every other day he’s digging America into a bigger and bigger hole.
“Overeducated” in some cases is a definite insult. In others is a sign of someone feeling threatened, small, or just admitting they are thick as shit - this is definitely the latter.
If he wants to be called president, then he should act like one. Until then he will remain one of his many other titles. Felon, conman, rapist, pick one!
He’s done nothing in his lifetime to deserve our respect and has worked so hard to trash the office of President. Our family refers to him as “the Pig” or KRASNOV.👍
Go Scotland!!!!
As an American... I hate this POS convicted rapist so much. I'm sorry to the world that some numnuts in our country got suckered into voting for him.
We need cyber hackers from good countries to do as much infiltration working against him as Russia did for him.
Our Head Of State is a very worthy, intelligent and hard working hereditary monarch with links back to the kings of the 11th century. No one calls him by his full title, so get over yourself. The felon and convicted rapist you call your President is a con artist and cult leader who is determined to destroy your democracy and global trade. The sooner he’s removed from office by some sensible Politicians and Judiciary, the better for the world.
Well, thanks to “Trump” we aren’t the most powerful nation anymore. As a matter of fact, we aren’t even looked at as a world leader anymore! Did you not even see yesterday’s announcements from world leaders?
He started his first term with us giving him the respect of the office. He has proven he's not to be respected. Sorry, not our fault he's about the worst choice for president anyone on the planet could find. But, at least we're winning so much we're getting tired of it right? Also, so glad the rest of the world respects us again, just like he promised.
Oh, that's right, he now says the rest of the world sucks and having their respect is no longer important. Things have been crazy these past 3 months.
He deserves the same amount of respect as he shows to those different from him or disagrees with him. Actually, he deserves less since he is the president.
If a president is not respecting the Constitution, not upholding the law, not respecting veterans who fought for my freedom, he doesn't deserve my respect. On top of it all Trump is a convicted felon. I'll never call this felon a president.
Haha hilarious. As an American, I can assure you that this man would not have stood on business like this for PRESIDENT Obama or Biden. Mango would be a joke if he wasn’t so destructive. United States of Embarrassment smdh
